Superior Pump 92551 Cast Pedestal Review

Terrible waste of time. After 2 unsuccessful sessions we switch to another manufacturer. I ordered my first pump. The shaft didn't turn and the engine just hummed. I called the tech and he ordered the oil for me, checked the shaft adjustment etc. No change so I returned it for a replacement. The replacement pump came in an apparently opened and resealed package. The leadership was missing. The power cord was not properly attached. Of course, there were all the signs of a product being returned…

We have had many submersible pumps, this really is the worst. Within 2 weeks of installing it my husband had to take it apart to try and get it working again. A week later same thing and he took it apart again and it worked for several days. Finally, after about 4 weeks, we had a flood and even dismantling led to a total failure. The manufacturer offered us a new drainage pump of the same worthless quality, no way! It costs way more than a sump pump, including flooding our basement. We will…

I had a very old pedestal well that failed and this is my first experience with swamps and with a little panic I saw dollar signs circling in my head. After doing a little searching online, I decided to buy this one because of the cast iron base and other cast iron or stainless steel parts (who knew there were pumps under $100 made out of PLASTIC?! Phew!). My friend and I installed it in about an hour. I bought all kinds of PVC joins and corners so we didn't have to go back to the store, bought

Unfortunately the packaging of this item looked like it had been run over by a monster truck. As my heart sank looking at the packaging and thinking I'd open it up and show off my beautiful thousand-piece drain pump, I was relieved to dig up more intact styrofoam. Luckily the pump only had a slight kink in the guide on the shaft that guides the float. I straightened it out with a pair of pliers and, BOOM, the drain pump is fine! Take this high water table! I hooked up this suction cup and with…

I bought this pump as a spare, the switch on my main base broke on a rainy Christmas day leaving me stuck without a pump. When I got the Superior pump I went and installed it on the piping. Plugged it in and as others have said nothing but a buzz. At first I thought the pump was very quiet, which it is. but he pumped no water. I thought it might be necessary to increase the water pressure, but when I smelled hot stream I immediately turned off the suction cup. my cloaca. Otherwise he works…

This is my second 1/3 HP cast iron pump that I have recently purchased. I bought the first one to replace a Flotec drain pump that was supposed to be at least 20 years old. When I checked it before a big storm (Flotec) it started smoking and wasn't pumping. Decided it was time for a new one. Was impressed by the mostly positive reviews of Superior and the price was right. The first one I bought on HD was about $100. Impresses right out of the box. Heavy all-metal construction. After installing…

Our basement has a small hole for a drain pump that only runs when needed - about 2-3 months a year. For the first 10 years in the house we used a pump installed by the previous owners and when it finally died we installed a Basement Watchdog pump that didn't even last a season. We changed the pump every year for about 5 years, either by buying new or under warranty, until I finally gave up the cellar guard. We have a half pump in the basement with a different hole that had a Superior Pump…

Received the pump quickly and it looked great when I took it out of the box. The excitement was overwhelming. The apartment on the first floor of one of the houses I rented was leaking water from an adjacent, slightly higher basement, which consisted mainly of mud. I started using a pump to draw water from a spring. It worked exactly as intended and I was able to remove excess water. Yay! However, the rain was not made. I returned about four hours later expecting to be able to effectively…
